1952 Map of Gass Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Gass Peak dominates the center of this 1952 landscape, marking a sharp divide between the high desert ranges to the north and the military-industrial expansion to the south. The northern half of the sheet is defined by the Desert National Wildlife Range, a territory of high ridges and isolated water sources such as Mormon Wells, Quail Spring, and White Spot Spring. These remote locations provided essential water for early travel and livestock before the area was increasingly dedicated to conservation and military use.
